I'm wondering whose bread is getting buttered here? What new weapons platforms are competing for Army dollars, and which one solves the reliability "problem"?

I'm wondering whose bread is getting buttered here? What new weapons platforms are competing for Army dollars, and which one solves the reliability "problem"? Seems like this is the sort of article that comes out of a press junket to a wide-open rifle range with lots of new toys for a reporter to play with.

- Zak 17y agoM-16 bashing has been a popular sport since the rifle was introduced. Many (me included) feel the heavier, more rugged and far moe powerful M-14 was a better weapon. That said, the worst problems of the early M-16 were corrected long ago, and the current version isn't especially unreliable compared to other modern military rifles.
